What is the recurrence rate of pituitary tumor after surgery

Pituitary tumor is a tumor caused by lesions in the anterior lobe, posterior lobe and residual cells of the craniopharyngeal epithelium. It affects males slightly more than females. Pituitary tumors usually occur in young and middle-aged people and often affect the patient's growth, development, reproductive function, learning and work ability. It grows slowly in the skull. There are two surgical methods for pituitary tumors, one is cranial pituitary tumor resection and the other is transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection. After pituitary tumor surgery, people often care about the postoperative recurrence rate of pituitary tumors. Next, we will introduce to you the postoperative recurrence rate.

Generally, pituitary tumors are benign tumors composed of anterior pituitary cells. They are quite common and have been increasing in recent years, especially in women of childbearing age. They are not hereditary and have a certain recurrence rate. Generally, pituitary tumors have a very low recurrence rate as long as they are cleanly removed by surgery, and radiotherapy is not required. However, some invasive pituitary tumors are very easy to recur and require radiotherapy or gamma knife treatment. The recurrence of pituitary tumors after surgery depends on the patient's physical condition. The recurrence of pituitary tumors after surgery is due to the reappearance of clinical symptoms and signs that have disappeared or alleviated after brain tumor surgery. Imaging examinations or reoperations reveal that the meningioma at the original surgical site has grown again. The key to preventing postoperative recurrence of brain tumors is whether postoperative adjuvant therapy is maintained after surgery. Here, cell immunotherapy is emphasized, which can greatly reduce the recurrence rate of brain tumors. The role of chemotherapy in the treatment of brain tumor metastasis has been widely accepted. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, you can choose ginsenoside Rh2 (Hu Ming Su) capsules, which can inhibit the proliferation of brain tumor cells, induce differentiation and apoptosis of cancer cells, control the further metastasis and deterioration of cancer cells, and improve the quality of life of patients, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging the patient's survival period.

I believe that after reading this article, everyone will have a better idea of ​​the recurrence rate of pituitary tumors after surgery. I hope this article can help everyone.
